Can we find variations in an asexually reproducing organism like bacteria ? Write Yes or No and give a reason in support of your answer.

Answer 1

Hey friend !!

Here is your answer..

We can't find any variation in an asexually reproducing organism like bacteria.

This is because it involves a single parent while sexual mode of reproduction involves two parents which causes variations.

No fusion takes place in asexually reproducing organism .

Answer 2

No, we can not find variations in asexually reproducing organisms like bacteria. It is because there is the involvement of only a single parent and there is no formation of gametes and its fusion (syngamy). That is the reason why the progeny of a bacterial cell are the exact copies of their parent and are identical to each other (clones).
